Revolution Bars raises GBP12.5 million from fundraise

(Alliance News) - Revolution Bars Group PLC on Wednesday said it has raised GBP12.5 million through a placing, subscription and open offer.

The Manchester-based bar group, which operates the brands Revolution and Revolucion de Cuba, said a total of 1.25 billion shares will be issued at the price of 1 pence per share.

Shares in Revolution Bars closed down 1.3% to 26.50 pence each on Wednesday in London.

Of the 1.25 billion shares, 159.2 million shares will be issued under the open offer.

In April, Revolution Bars announced the fundraise amid a restructuring plan that could see the business sold.

Without the additional funding, and cost savings delivered through a proposed restructuring plan, Revolution Bars said it would face liquidity pressures from the first quarter of 2025 onwards.

In addition, the company said it had launched a formal sale process to see whether a sale of the company would provide a more beneficial outcome for stakeholders than the restructuring.

Revolution Bars said it was also looking at a sale of one or more subsidiaries.
